A group of local zumba fans were out in force last weekend for a Halloween fundraiser, to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

The event was staged at Active Oxford Park in Ashton last Sunday from 12:30pm to 4pm.

The Mayor of Tameside, Councillor Leigh Drennan (pictured), joined in the exercises to support the event.

More than £1,000 was made for the cancer charity.

Fancy dress was optional, with a prize for the best costume on the day.

A raffle also took place with loads of prizes.

Tickets for the event were £10 for adults and £5 for children.
